      @thwr oh no, this TASTES like alcohol. It BURNS.

      I'm drinking the one in the picture right now. I'm friends with the distiller, too.

      Must be something similar then. TBH, I don't know much from that evening anymore, nor does anyone else who was with me 😉

                This thread is a great example of RAID 6 rebuild risks. 11 days and many more projected before the rebuild is complete. Not that large of an array, either.

                  @scottalanmiller Never knew that with RAID6. Good to know in future

                    We've seen rebuilds go into MONTHS before!

                      @scottalanmiller well, that depends on a few factors. One of my systems is running a RAID 60. A stripe over 5 stacks of 6 disks in RAID 6. Don't ask why, it's there for a reason.

                      Anyway, each disk is 1TB NL-SAS @ 7.2k RPM. Rebuilding a failed disk in a stack takes roughly 16 to 20 hours.

                        Only six disks, that's pretty small.

                            Playing Grey Cubes on Steam ... so much more entertaining than the last hour of work. Best dollar I've spent in a while.

                              After much deliberation and pondering, I selected a new GPU yesterday (I'll get the other parts later).
                              AND IT'S HERE!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
                              MSI GTX 960 2GB Gaming Edition

                              Only 8 hours to go before I get to go home, and about 12 before I get to install it 😞
                              Most importantly, it's here 🙂 🙂 !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!

                              And this is the last anyone will hear from @nadnerB for a week or three heheh

                              Mrs nadnerB said I still needed to go to work 😞

                                  Well, that was a tradeoff. Couldn't afford the spindles for RAID 10. Using this setup, you're only loosing 1/3 of the capacity while having at least a bit of write performance. Plus, rebuild time and risk is acceptable.

                                    Looking how to create a "Driver Pack" for my Windows 10 Gold image as I've just deployed it to a laptop and it's missing drivers like the NIC

                                      What deployment method do you use?

                                        At the moment is an install of windows 10 on Virtual Box. Sysprep using a unattend.xml which has a few steps in and the KMS key. Once done I've used FOG to capture the image and deploy to new laptops. Be working great, until we got the new model Lenovo E560, no drivers.
                                        So I need to "install" these on the "gold" image or have them install when the image get deployed.

                                        OK it's not a big issue as it takes 5 minutes to install the missing devices, but might be nice to try 🙂

                                          Cool, you can definitely add a folder to the image with the drivers, then use the unattended.xml when sysprepping to have that location of drivers added to the driver store during the generalize phase.

                                            I just added the drivers under c:\windows\drivers and made a registry change to search this folder for drivers after the systems starts up for Sysprep.

                                            Probably not how it should be done, but it just works.
